#Voice Agent closing the connection after pre-defined time

I am using the Voice Agent API via JavascriptSDK, I want to gently close the connection after N minutes. Before closing the connection I want the agent to inform the user that the connection is about to be closed.

What would be the best way to implement this?

Here is an example to consider to create a Voice Agent client with automatic timeout and graceful closure.

const { createClient, AgentEvents } = require('@deepgram/sdk');

class VoiceAgentWithTimeout {
  constructor(apiKey, timeoutMinutes = 10) {
    this.deepgram = createClient(apiKey);
    this.connection = null;
    this.timeoutMinutes = timeoutMinutes;
    this.warningTimeoutId = null;
    this.closeTimeoutId = null;
    this.keepAliveInterval = null;
    this.isClosing = false;

    // Warning given 30 seconds before closure
    this.warningSeconds = 30;
  }

  async connect() {
    try {
      this.connection = this.deepgram.agent();

      // Set up connection event handlers
      this.connection.on(AgentEvents.Open, () => {
        console.log('Voice Agent connection opened');
        this.setupTimeouts();
        this.startKeepAlive();
        this.configureAgent();
      });

      this.connection.on(AgentEvents.Close, () => {
        console.log('Voice Agent connection closed');
        this.cleanup();
      });

      this.connection.on(AgentEvents.Error, (error) => {
        console.error('Voice Agent error:', error);
        this.cleanup();
      });

      this.connection.on(AgentEvents.ConversationText, (data) => {
        console.log(`${data.role}: ${data.content}`);
      });

      this.connection.on(AgentEvents.Audio, (audio) => {
        // Handle audio data from the agent
        this.handleAudioData(audio);
      });

      this.connection.on(AgentEvents.AgentStartedSpeaking, (data) => {
        console.log('Agent started speaking');
      });

      this.connection.on(AgentEvents.AgentAudioDone, () => {
        console.log('Agent finished speaking');
      });

    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to connect to Voice Agent:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }

  configureAgent() {
    this.connection.configure({
      audio: {
        input: {
          encoding: "linear16",
          sample_rate: 24000,

Hey there @naive geyser~! Did you forget about this thread? Let us know if you still need help!

Thanks @sour smelt for the code snippet, unfortunately discord cuts the message after the configureAgent function and I can't see how the whole VoiceAgentWithTimeout works, can you share it again? Thanks!
